Morphology
The meaning 'a room for lectures' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'lecture' (a teaching talk) with 'room' (a space), so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand it refers to a space used for lectures. Although the given definition specifies a digital/virtual room, the core idea of a space for lectures is predictable and cross-linguistically common.
Etymology
Lecture room is also used for an online 'room' where a teacher gives a live talk. People used the idea of a physical room for meetings to describe the digital space, so the phrase now means 'a place online for a lecture'.
